The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    WHen mine changes it does seem to be related to load, rather than temperature. It fluctuates back and forth from 7-8W at idle to 25-29W with a load.

    I miss Nvidia drivers! :wub: Haven't you mentioned you prefer Nvidia as well on previous occasions? The ATi drivers are improving, but nowhere near as good as the Nvidia ones. Forget getting them working, I can barely find them (other than the current release). Somebody had to upload 10.5 for me and a few people a while ago since we couldn't find them anywhere.

    Yeah I do prefer nVidia drivers. The current ATi ones aren't exactly bad but they do need work.
